    As the title says I'm kinda depressed about gettin older..I'm 20 nowand wish I could be 13 and relive my teenage years again, I think part of the reason for this is because I feel I wasted in some ways my teenage years not to say I didn't have fun times but my group was pretty small..as I got to older age like 18 I started to hang with another bigger group where I live so I guess I kidnda wish I could have started being mates with them sooner. I just feel my personally is more suited to teenage years....I like drinkin but goin to a pub or to a club in town isn't fun for me....I preferred just drinking in some park....but even I just liked hanging out around estate getting up to fun stuff as you get older it just becomes so focused on going out at the weekend blah blah blah....I know there's way worst problems people have but I dunno this just is kinda getting to me....

    Everyone goes through this stage. It's a mini mid-life crisis.

    When you were a teenager you had limited means, no money, school, parental control.. you couldn't have done things any different so stop beating yourself up.

    You are realising that in any one year you could have had huge potential.. you have your whole life ahead of you now. Don't spend another second regretting the past and when you look back in 10 years make sure you don't have any regrets.

    I don't want to sound patronising here but your teenage years are NOT the best of your life.

    With getting a bit older (and believe me in most people's eyes you're still just a young 'un!) comes greater freedom both financial and personal and with that comes greater opportunities for fun.

    You'll do things in your 20's that you never dreamed you'd do when you were 16 knocking around the estate with your mates.

    I went through similar feelings around your age and looking back now I realise that letting go of those fears and embracing what was coming at me was the best thing ever.
